U.N.O.'s New Lease On Life The Iranian crisis in the United Nations Security Council has been at le"ast temporarily hurdled with Russia's pledge to remove her troops froirj Iran and adjust other matters in dispute to the satisfaction for the time being at least of the Iranian government. The breach in the Council's ranks, which opened a week ago with: the walkout of Soviet Ambassador Andrei Gromyko, may not be completely healed but the World Peade Organization has at least a new ;lease of life. However, the case shall remain one of international concern for some time, it is expected. Groiiiyko's letter to the Council yesterday, giving assurance that all Soviet droops will be evacuated front I rah by May fi and. that the removal is not connected in.any way with; negotiations between the two countries on oil or any other subjects; at least puts the Soviet on definite record. V Winch and Women's Institutes Harold Winch, C.C.F. Leader of the ; Opposition in the provincial legislature, has seen fit to criticize the Women's Institutes of British Columbia as" being the disseminators; of anti-C.C.F. propaganda, suggesting that, if they and the Farmers' ! Institutes are to be given increased grants, there ghould be assurance that they should not be permitted to engage in political activity. When Mr. Winch speaks along this line,-it is to be supposed that somewhere in this province, although we do riot believe it is in this part of ' the country, there has been something said or done in a Women's Institutethat has not suited the C.C.F. The only government-sponsored organizations which we know much of right here in Prince Rupert are he co-operatives and, if there is anything anti-C.C.F. about them, it is, to say the least of it, very difficult .to discern. If Mr. Winch is really sincere in POLICIES OF MINES DEP'I his opposition to such government-sponsored organizations as the Women's Institutes being used as instruments for political promotion including, of course, the C.C.F., there will be little quarrel about the matter. 2ft 2ft 2 Welcome Relief, Coming It is 'very satisfactory to hear both from the mayor and Aid. Robert McKay that we may expect some real work to be done this season in Prince Rupert in the way of street improvements, both indicating that the organization and equipment are now such that much-needed attention may be effectively given. The street users of Prince Rupert both motor and pedestrian although sorely tried, have been exceedingly patient for there is no doubt that Prince Rupert's streets and sidewalks have during the past few years deteriorated until they are about the "world's worst" Now it is gratifying indeed to be assured that, before many more months elapse, there will be some real relief for our poor shattered nerves, our shaken vehicles and our tortured feet. 2ft 2ft 2f We Have Some Ideas "What Prince Rupert Needs" series of competition letters which the Daily News has been presenting has, we believe, caused a lot of people to think along useful lines and express through our paper some thoughts which may prove of use in developing new community ideas, some of which may result in directly or indirectly action along desired lines. This sign of community thinking is a healthy one, indeed, and something which cannot but help, having a cumulatively beneficial effect. Here at the Daily News office we had begun to think there were very few people who had a thought or a care for anything else but their own little businesses and affairs. The response to the "What Prince Rupert Needs" contest has now con-""Vince'd "us that there are quite a few u who are really giving serious thought to ways and means of community advancement along a diversity of lines.

THE CANADIAN BANK 1 OF COMMERCE Irince Rupert Branch: It. O. HOPKINS, Manager the Bureau ol Mines ol the organization and it was the decision that the Stewart Board of Trade was after the wrong man. The responsibility for the policy rested with the Department of Mines and Dr. Walker was only responsible for carrying out instructions issued by this department. However the chamber wrote the Premier asking that the Coal and Petroleum Act of ' 1944 be revised so as to enable small operators to open opera-' tlons Instead of having the Act read so that the cost would be I prohibitive to them. r In view of the lack of facilities for handling coal at Prince Rupert, the meeting decided that they would table the request from the Associated Boards of , Trade that the Ground Hog Coal area be developed. It was felt J by the meeting that 'there was sufficient coal in sight in th? Telkwa area without going to luriner iieias to develop new , mines until such time as bunk ering facilities were Installed to handle the output of the pres ently developed mines. C. P. Bussingcr at Telkwa re ponea inai ne nac attended a meeting of the highway commit tee of the Prince Rupert Cham i ber of Commerce which had been addressed by George McAdam vice-Presldent of the Associated Boards, on the subject of the Prince Rupert Highway. Mr. Bus-singer informed the meeting that Mr. MeAdams had received a promise from the Hon. Herbert Anscomb, Minister of Public Works, that the highway would be maintained by the provincial government so that it would be passable but the province would not undertake to, maintain It a." a first class highway until such time as Its ownership was FOUR VETERANS PRINCE RUPERT DECORATORS Specialists in Each Branch Paperbanging Signs Decoratlnc Blue 285 Box 1422 Stn. B. WHAT Prince Rupert Need (Being one or a series of suggestions by readers of the Daily News for the betterment of this city). May I take this opportunity to congratulate the Daily News on tms spienaia contest bv which the minds of the public are directed to think constructively about Prince Rupert. Of the many excellent suggestions already received, I should like to enlarge upon one, name ly the tourist trade. During the war years Prince Rupert has made good friends among the troops and civilian personnel from all over the world. These emissaries of good will are going forth to sing" the praises of "The Garden City by the Sea." We must expect t6"ur-Lsts by water, rail, road and eventually by air. We must be ready to strike while the iron is hot. Steamship and train services must be adequate. The foads must be maintained in good condition. Hotel, restroom, tourist park, station accommodation must be commodious and. In Uie days before the war a large sign greeted the passenger.; from the boats "Where to Go and What to See In Prince Ru pert." To th's may be added a welcome arch, souvenir pamph lets and folders, taxis and sight seeing buses to meet the visitors. Our beautiful parks with their tot?m poles right In the heart of the city are a constant delight to visitors. The parks need attention after six years of -war. The totem poles need repairing and painting. One pole must be replaced on the crest of the hill. Two carved sea gulls are missing from Uie crown of one of the poles and a lace has been gouged out of another. Corresponding legends ihould be attached to each. pole. The Museum of Northern British Columbia should be re-opened to the public. It was indeed a great disappointment to many of the Americans stationed here during the war that they wer." unable to see the treasures of the north. Now tllat the war is over and material is again available, we must either find a suitable building or repair the present building which is both cen tral to town and convenient to tourists from the boat. A "museum commentator is an asset. Our former "Port Day" could b? resumed and expanded into the "Prln? Rurert Sports 'Day." We should advertise well in advance and expect visitors from DoinM as far distant as Priiice George and Ketchikan. Alaska Thp basketball and boxing championships could be won here, n1o bvbn1' as wel! n the traditional water sports and boat racing with a large dance In the evening. The colorful native bands would be in attendance throughout the day. We would do well to emulate the smaller towns in planning some celebration at least for the "mirtren on holidays such as May 24 and July 1.
